200 Years of Homes

NYC Architecture

By Yardi Blog Staff on Jun 13, 2012 in News

Our friends at Property Shark have put together a great slideshow that displays homes built over the last 200 years in New York City’s Greenwich Village and Brooklyn Heights. Unless you happen to live in a particularly old and historic part of the U.S., it might be hard to find a home more than 100 years old in your neighborhood, but in this part of New York City they are very plentiful.

You’ll probably notice a lot of similarities in the architectural styles displayed in these slides – rectangular shapes, flat fronts, short-walk ups, uniform windows and always the inference that inside the front door, you’ll probably be heading up a flight of stairs.
